Myth 1: I can't afford a buyers' agent.FALSE. Georgia's "buyer agency law" means you can have an experienced Realtor working for you - absolutely FREE! Myth 2: Nothing in life is FREE. If I don't work with a buyers' agent, then I can negotiate a better deal myself. FALSE. Here's how it works: There are two halves to every real estate transaction - the seller's side and the buyer's side. Sellers contractually agree to pay their "listing agent" a full commission.
